SAFETY

Safe bodies and doors are extremely heavy thus SA Consumer Products requires a minimum of 2 or 3 people to ensure stability of the safe during installation. Always ensure proper installation, as laid out in this manual, and do not open the door with the safe on an uneven or unstable floor. Ignoring this could result in serious injury or death.

FIREARM STORAGE

If you choose to utilize this safe to store a firearm always follow proper firearm and local laws.
SA Consumer Products strongly recommends that you do not store loaded firearms.
Always follow the firearm safety rules set out by the firearm’s manufacturer.
A Remington safe or any other firearm storage device cannot take the place of other safety procedures including advising children of the dangers of firearms.
SA Consumer Products and its distributors of the Remington safe do not recommend, suggest, advise, promote, or otherwise condone the ownership or use of firearms. We believe the decision to own or use a firearm is a serious decision that should only be made by an adult who has carefully considered the risks and benefits of such a decision.

UNBOXING

WARNING: SAFES ARE HEAVY AND CAN BE UNSTABLE ON UNEVEN GROUND. PLEASE ENSURE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH OR MOVING UNSECURED SAFES. WHILE UNBOXING BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.
Remove the packaging. If your safe is still on shipping feet you can simply lift the box up and off the safe once the strapping has been removed. You will want to have someone stabilize the safe when removing the cardboard and other packing material from underneath the safe.
Before discarding package material, please be certain you have located and saved the ”Getting Started Box” located in the front of the honeycomb corrugate front protection panel.

INSPECTION

Make sure to inspect your safe for shipping damage before accepting delivery. If you find any damage, please contact the delivery company (or carrier) immediately.
Any damage not noted upon delivery must be reported within fifteen (15) days or there will be no recourse. Any noted damage at the time of delivery must be resolved with the delivery company and/or retailer. Shipping damage is not warrantable by SA Consumer Products.

INITIAL ENTRY

Locate the quick start guide, override key, battery and spoke inside the box on the front of the safe corrugate protective front cover.
Install the single handle spoke by inserting into one of the threaded openings and twisting clockwise until you feel the spoke fully lock into place.
Locate the keyhole in the safe door. Insert and turn the backup key clockwise from 9 to the 1 o’clock position to unlock.
Rotate the handle clockwise until the safe door opens.
Set the provided override key aside in a safe place.
NOTE: Do not store override keys inside your safe.
Now that your safe is open, you will find a Welcome Box inside your safe. You will find your 4 remaining spokes inside that box.
Insert each individual spoke into a threaded opening and turn clockwise to install.

PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE

WARNING: SAFES ARE VERY HEAVY AND AWKWARD TO HANDLE. PLEASE USE THE UTMOST CARE IN MOVING THE SAFE. UTILIZING A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL WITH PROPER MOVING EQUIPMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
The location of the executive safe is very important and the utmost care should be taken during this consideration.

To maximize the fire protection of your safe, we recommend you place the safe in lower levels in your home where fire temperatures are lower and away from highly combustible materials.
To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the safe to the floor is recommended.
SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your safe in a closet, office, basement, bedroom or any other location that is convenient for you but out of direct line of sight from prying eyes. The location of the safe is very important.
SA Consumer Products requires the safe is secured to the floor to ensure safe does not tip over in case of a flood.
Using a dolly capable of supporting the size and weight of your safe, move the safe to your desired location. Please take all necessary precautions to protect and prevent any damage to your flooring.
HELPFUL: TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR SAFE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH DOORWAYS, STAIRS, OR CORNERS, TAKE THE EMPTY SAFE BOX AND SEE IF IT WILL FIT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO ITS FINAL LOCATION.
The safe should be installed adjacent to a side wall with minimal space on either side of the safe. Wherever possible, the safe should be flat against the wall and floor. Remove the baseboard and/or wall trim if necessary.
Always ensure the safe is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the safe in direct contact with a wet floor. When installing your safe on a concrete floor, use of a moisture/protective barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so, or exposing the safe to chemicals or other adverse environments, may void the warranty.
If your safe seems unlevel, you may need to shim the bottom of the safe to prevent the door from swinging open too quickly, or closing on itself.

KEEPING YOUR SAFE DRY

We recommend placing a moisture/protective barrier between your safe and concrete floor to prevent any moisture, mildew and rust damage to the safe. Installing your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer) is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent temperature fluctuations (garages) it is recommended to take appropriate precautions to ward against moisture damage. We strongly encourage the use of an internal dehumidifier and/or desiccants to protect your contents from rust or mildew. Internal dehumidifiers should not be in direct contact with the side or back walls.

SHIPPING SKID REMOVAL

WARNING: WHILE REMOVING THE BOLTS FROM THE SKIDS, BE SURE TO HAVE A PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.
WARNING: BEFORE REMOVING THE SHIPPING SKIDS, MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. THE DOOR OF YOUR SAFE IS HEAVY AND PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD UNTIL THE SAFE IS BOLTED DOWN OR SECURED PROPERLY.

Upon receiving your safe, you may find it attached to a shipping skid. The skid is secured from the underside of the safe by four bolts. Remove the four bolts that secure the safe to the skids using a wrench or 3/4” (19mm) socket.
With a person stabilizing the safe, carefully tilt the safe to the left and pull the shipping skid on the right side away from the bottom of the safe.
With the shipping skid removed from one side of the safe, carefully lower the safe to the floor.
Follow the same procedure to remove the remaining shipping skid.

SECURING YOUR SAFE

WARNING: YOUR SAFE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ITSELF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. HOWEVER, CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID TIPPING. WHILE SECURING YOUR SAFE BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WARRANTY OF THE SAFE. TOOLS NEEDED TO BOLT SAFE TO A CONCRETE SURFACE

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SAFE 5

Use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.
Open your safe door and locate and remove the four black caps on the safe floor. This will provide access to the factory drilled bolt down holes.
To secure your safe to the floor it will first be necessary to drill pilot holes in the floor surface.
Drill the appropriate diameter and depth of pilot holes based on the type of hardware being used and the type of floor surface. For the hardware provided (concrete floor installation) we recommend using a hammer drill and 1/2” concrete drill bit to drill the four corresponding holes in the concrete floor.
Insert and drive the plastic anchoring plugs into the pilot holes. You may need to use a hammer to fully insert the plugs into the pilot holes.
Secure the safe, by threading all 4 anchor bolts through the factory drilled bolt down holes in the bottom of the safe and ratcheting down tight.
• Make sure the metal washer sits on top of the rubber washer. Tighten the bolt to compress the rubber washer between the safe and metal washer. Failure to do so will allow water to enter the safe in the event of a flood.
Replace the four black caps onto the floor of the safe.

LOCK FACE INSTALLATION

Locate the lock face box in the door organizer pocket. Remove the lock face from the box located inside the safe.
Locate the 1x9V battery in the intial entry box. Install into the battery compartment on the back of the lock face in the proper orientation. The touch pad will beep when batteries are successfully installed.
WARNING: The batteries must be inserted with the correct polarity. Exhausted batteries must be removed from the product and discarded safely. Do not use rechargeable (nickel – cadmium) batteries. Duracell and Energizer batteries are highly recommended.
Plug the electronic lock cable into the back of the lock face. The connector on the cable will only fit into the connector in the lock face in one way.
Align the lock face to the backer plate, with the lock face slightly rotated to the left. Turn clockwise until you feel the lock face click into place.

PROGRAMMING YOUR SECURITY CODE

Important: Your safe comes programmed with a factory code of [ 1 5 9 # ]. It is necessary to re-program your safe with a new security code you have personally selected to provide maximum household security. Be careful in choosing your new security code, you’ll want to be sure that you can operate the unit quickly without making an error.

Swipe finger(s) across the keypad to “wake up” and activate the lockface. Two random numbers will illuminate when the lock face wakes up. Individually press both of the two numbers, in any order, to allow full access to the keypad. Insert the factory preset code of (1-5-9-#). This will unlock the safe in a DEFAULT MODE. (DO NOT use this code while securing items in your safe)
On the inside of the safe door, locate the brass cap. Unscrew and remove the cap, giving access to the reset button. Press the reset button.
You will hear a beep. The yellow (left) light on the E-lock will illuminate so that you can enter your new code.
While the yellow (left LED) is illuminated, enter your new 3 to 8-digit security code followed by [*].
Lock face will beep twice indicating successful programming.

OPENING SAFE WITH PROGRAMMED SECURITY CODE

While the safe door is still open, confirm your newly entered security code. Wake up the keypad by swiping the keypad with your finger(s). Then enter the 3-8 digit code followed by the [ # ]. If successful you will hear two beeps and the green light will illuminate, allowing you to retract the bolts. Always remember to SWIPE your finger(s) across the surface of the keypad to wake the keypad in order to enter the keypad codes. Simply touching the keypad may not trigger a sensor point on the key pad to activate keypad.
Note: Do not shut the safe door until you have confirmed your new security code at least 3 times to ensure your code has been saved and you can open the door successfully. If the code fails, the yellow (left) light will flash and beep. Repeat the steps above until successful.
WARNING: If the incorrect security code is entered 3 times you will have an automatic lockout for 30 seconds before you can enter your code again. If 3 additional failed attempts are made, the keypad will lockout for 5 minutes. Leave batteries in to go through lockout cycle. If batteries are removed the timer will restart zero.

LOCKED OUT OF YOUR SAFE

In the event you have forgotten the security code your primary action will be to use your override keys in order to gain access to your safe and follow the Electronic Lock Security Setup Code instructions, starting at section 10.
If you have lost your backup keys, you will need to contact customer service at the number below. Proof of purchase is required to obtain keys.

LOW BATTERY ALERT

This lock face is equipped to alert you when the batteries are low by illuminating the red light (center) when any button is pressed on the keypad. Please replace batteries immediately when receiving this warning.
Always test the batteries when installing or replacing. If the red light comes on when a button is pressed you know the batteries are not fully charged.

LOCKOUT MODE / TAMPER PROTECTION

Three consecutive rejected security code entries puts the safe in “Basic Lockout” mode. The touch pad is deactivated for 30 seconds.
Six consecutive rejected security code entries results in “Severe Lockout” mode. The touch pad is deactivated for 5 minutes.
Note: During lockout mode, the yellow lock LED will light up once every 10 seconds. When lockout mode has ended, the green unlock LED will flash 1 time and you will hear 1 beep to signify the lockout mode has ended. You will now have access to your touch pad.
After the safe enters basic or severe lockout mode, the tamper indicator will trigger to warn you that someone has unsuccessfully attempted to gain access to your safe. This tamper indicator will signal immediately after the next successful code is entered. The yellow lock LED will flash 3 times and in addition to a 3 second long beep.

INTERIOR LIGHTING

This safe comes with proximity based interior lighting installed. When the USB powered internal lighting is plugged into the USB power source, the lighting will function automatically when the door is open.

SILENT ENTRY MODE

By activating the lock face quiet mode, the safe will no longer make audible sound when interacting with safe, allowing for silent access.
1. To mute the lockface, enter the code [ 6 3 3 ].
2. To turn the sound back on, enter code [ 6 6 ].

LOADING YOUR SAFE

Store documents or heat sensitive items in the bottom of the safe for greatest protection against fire damage.
Store ammunition separately from valuables.
Do not put anything in your safe that will put pressure against the door when it is closed.
Select safe models have reinforced shelving, but as a good safety precaution store heavier items either on the floor of the safe, or away from the middle of the shelves.
When placing firearms into your safe, make sure they rest securely against the cutouts provided in the barrel rests to prevent accidental tipping when the door is closed.

MAINTENANCE

The hinges and internal locking mechanism are permanently lubricated, thus needing no maintenance. Opening the door panel of your safe may void your warranty. Always consult our customer service experts prior to doing so.
